Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-6)+8=17 then remove unnecessary parentheses x-6+8=17 then calculate the sum x + 2 = 17 the move constant to the right hand side and change its sign x = 17 - 2 then subtract the numbers x=15 btw you should use photo math that's what I used

|x - 6| + 8 = 17

Subtract 8 from both sides.

|x - 6| + 8 - 8 = 17 - 8

|x - 6| = 9

Set x - 6 to 9 and -9, which leads to two cases.

x - 6 = 9

x = 9 + 6

x = 15

x - 6 = -9

x = -9 + 3

x = -6

Which is the answer?

Plug both values into the original absolute value equation to see which yields a true statement.

Let x = 15

|15 - 6| + 8 = 17

|9| + 8 = 17

9 + 8 = 17

17 = 17

Let x = -6

|-6 - 6| + 8 = 17

|-12| + 8 = 17

12 + 8 = 17

20 DOES NOT EQUAL 17.

Answer: x = 15

Let a, b, c, and d be real numbers with a, c 6= 0. Prove that the lines y = ax+b and y = cx + d have the same x-intercept if and

Monica [59]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have got the lines :

$y=ax+b\\y=cx+d$

Both lines intercept the x-axis in the point :

$I = (i_{1} ,i_{2})$

In all point from x-axis the y-component is equal to 0.

$I=(i_{1},o)$

We replace the I point in the lines equations:

$0=a(i_{1})+b \\0=c(i_{1})+d$

From the first equation :

$0=a(i_{1})+b \\-b=a(i_{1})\\i_{1}=\frac{-b}{a}$

From the second equation :

$0=c(i_{1})+d\\ -d=c(i_{1})\\i_{1}=\frac{-d}{c}$

Then $i_{1}=i_{1}$

Finally :

$\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-d}{c} \\\frac{b}{a}=\frac{d}{c} \\ad=bc$

y = ax + b and y = cx + d have the same x-intercept ⇔ad=bc

Factor completely: 2x4 − 32.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Option b) is correct.

The completed factor of given expression is $2(x-2)(x+2)(x^2+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is $2x^4-32$

To find the completed factor for the given expression:

$2x^4-32$ :

Taking the common number "2" outside to the above expression we get

$2x^4-32=2(x^4-16)$

Now rewritting the above expression as below

$=2(x^4-2^4)$ (since 16 can be written as the number 2 to the power of 4)

$=2((x^2)^2-(2^2)^2)$

The above expression is of the form $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Here $a=x^2$ and $b=2^2$

Therefore it becomes

$=2(x^2+2^2)(x^2-2^2)$

$=2(x^2+4)(x^2-2^2)$

The above expression is of the form $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Here $a=x$ and $b=2$

Therefore it becomes

$=2(x^2+4)(x+2)(x-2)$

$=2(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+4)$

Therefore $=2(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+4)$

$2x^4-32=2(x-2)(x+2)(x^2+4)$

Option b) is correct.

The completed factor of given expression is $2(x-2)(x+2)(x^2+4)$
